Successful Treatment OF COnsump-
tiOn.
PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-At a
meeting OF the Hospital Committee Of
the Board of Guardians of the Poor,
to-day, DR.. T. N. Mclaughlin, physi-
clan Of the Chief Philadelphia Hos
| pital, presented a report OF the sue
cessful treatment adopted about a
month ago for patients in the institu-
ton suffering from consumption. He
said, that so far the success Of the
treatment was almost marvellous, and
in the cases which had agreed to sub
NIT to the methods adopted, no other
has been used. DIR. Mclaughlin first
obtained the idea from a paper read
before the College of Science at a re-
cent meeting in Paris by one of the
professors in the University of Lyons.
1t was recommended so highly, and
had shown such surprising results in
France, that DIR. Mclaughlin decided
to test it in the hospital. He explained
the treatment to the patients, and 30
Of them agreed to submit to the oper-
alton. Twenty OF these patients We're
considered to be suffering from the
last stages of consumption. Two
rectal injections of carbonic acid gas,
prepared by the progress given by the
French physician, were given each
day. All medicine being abandoned,
the patients at nee began to show
signs of improvement. The night
sweat increased. AS if by magic the
almost constant pains from which they
suffered had vanished; the excretions
of the body were regular and became
natural, and the appetite returned.
A Serious Ferry Trouble.
TExARKANA, March 19.-Two weeks
ago Walter Ridgley, a wealthy farmer,
shot and killed two ferrymen who
were trying to get exhorbitant charges
out of a st. Louis drummer, for putting
him across the river. Ridgley took
the drummer's part. The ferrymen
insulted him for this, and attempted
to draw their weapons, when Ridgley
shot them both dead. Upon the ex-
animation Ridgley was discharged.
, John Murphy, a brother of n of the
men killed, and an uncle of the other,
swore to kill Ridgley on sight. Last
night Ridglev, on horseback, was rid
ing home, and on entering a strip OF
woods was fred on from an ambush.
The horse fell dead, but its rider es-
capped unframed, and rolled over on
the opposite of the horse to that from
which the firing proceeded. The two
would-be murderers were the uncle
and brother mentioned. Thinking
Ridgley was dead they approached.
When within about ten feet Ridgley
suddenly raised up and shot both as
sailants. This makes four men Ridg-
ley has killed over the simple ferry
boat transaction.
